365 Days To Love-Chapter 85 - EIGHTY-FIVE:An innocent Whore.

Elijah Knights.

Hazel pondered over the reason as to why he would help her,for all she knew about him and his family members they weren’t nice to her and would be the happiest if the wedding got cancelled just like Ezekiel Knights had said.

She couldn’t make out any definite reasons as to why the man would defend her in front of his brother. He complicated situations already when her father in-law thought that he was the one she was working for.

But what made her shocked to the marrow was to what extent he went to convince his brother not to make a mistake that would backfire back to him once it’s confirmed that he was making a mistake,she was no fool,the man was up to something.

He saved her for now but he’s definitely up to something,if there’s anything she’s used to in this cruel world was people helping each other not because they want to but because they were after the rewards they would get just for doing that and Elijah proved her right because she knew it won’t be long before he comes for his payback.

But before then,she would tell everything to Zaiden,she did a mistake entering his office but she coming to come clean to him,after all,he wasn’t that cold towards her anymore so he going to give her a listening ear.

After talking with Sunny,filling her in on what was going on,she shunned her for what she did,she invaded his privacy and got the wrong impression of his father,so, she was against what she did and decided it was right if she told Zaiden what happened just to be on the safe side Incase Elijah threatens her about it.

She wasn’t expecting his dad to have a set is chafe of mind after baring her heart out to him,but figures,he’s not as heartless as she looked,he left without a word but she wasn’t comfortable with his silence,she would have preferred if he said he wasn’t going to talk to Zaiden about it.

Nevertheless,she had made up her mind to come clean to him,what’s the use of Ezekiel’s words of assurance when her heart is racing already with the thoughts of Zaiden’s reaction when he hears that she rummaged through his and her Arianna’s picture in his secret passage.

So much for been such a curious human being,now look where it landed her, Zaiden might have too sweet on her this morning but she shouldn’t forget so soon that he was an unpredictable jerk,he might come back tonight in a sour mood and he’s going to unleash everything out on her once he hears what she has to say.

What am I going to do?

Hazel thought.She couldn’t find any better out of this dire situation she was in,Avery wasn’t home,even if she was,she didn’t want to involve her besides the fault came from her side,she pried on his privacy,and saw what was supposed to be hidden away from her.

But if he wasn’t totally over his girlfriend,why did he come back for her?

Was he aware that she was trying to use him?Did the fairybodmother play a fast one on her by letting Zaoden know of her plans?

No it’s not possible,the godmother hasn’t appeared to her after their last encounter and she wondered the reason why she hasn’t done that.

She has too many questions to ask her,what if Zaiden wasn’t the right person for this?

What if he wasn’t her true love and in the end she fails the mission and ends up a grieved dead soul walking upon earth?

Why did she have to die?

Why couldn’t the fairygothmother take away the pains and let her live?

The thunder struck, making her give out a loud ear piercing scream,she wasn’t a fan of it and had a bad past about it,she sat down on the floor, her head in between her knees as she closed her eyes praying for this to be over.

The second strike was much worse than the other, making her tremble on the floor where she sat. The room was sound proofed so there wasn’t anyone coming for her. She was helpless here just like twelve years old.

She was astraphobic and was always with lady Morgana whenever it started in her stays in the orphanage,Susan has always been strict to her due to the lady’s constant likeness to her,she was spoilt beyond compare by lady Morgana,but Susans was not a fan of such treatments.

She had always known of Susans bitterness towards her right from the day she was abandoned in front of the house,the story behind how Lady Morgana took her in was a long one,but the scariest experience staying there was been abandoned by Susan in the market place in a cold rainy night,that has been the starting point of of her Astraphobia.

She couldn’t tell if she did that on purpose or if she truly lost her just like she claimed after Last Morgana went extra miles and contacted the cops about her,she was found two days later but the experience was bad she didn’t want to even think about it.

Good memories Hazel,think about good memories!

She mumbled to herself when she shut her eyes without attempting to open it for once,the room was dark already but she didn’t have the courage to stand up to turn on the light,her breathing got heavier when the third strike came.

She didn’t notice that the season spring was around the corner,she couldn’t entirely blame herself for her inability to notice when her worst season had started,when all that was on her mind was fulfilling the mission she had on earth before leaving,time wasn’t on her side.

Hazel was finding it hard to breathe,praying for someone to walk in so she couldn’t be alone, she desperately needed human warmth and didn’t care whoever it may come from as long as she wasn’t here alone all by herself to pass through this again.

Luckily her prayers were answered shortly because she heard the door open and the lights turned on,the heavy steps of whoever it was coming closer as she looked up slowly with tears in her eyes at the supposed love of her life.

Zaiden Knights.

He stood still not far from where she was curled in sitting position,and that was when she noticed his tightened fist and his face which was pissed off,he was not in a good mood but the look on his face died down the minute he saw her face,she noticed the worried lines that were etched in his face and wondered if actually she was wrong about her assumption of him.

Was that concern she was seeing?

Was he concerned about her?

"You are..here"she said, her shaky voice was enough evidence to show that she was crying,the fourth thunderstrike made her stand up immediately and rushed into his arms,her hands tightly holding him to her as her tears flowed freely wetting his shirt but she didn’t care.

She heard his heavy breathing as if he was having difficulties that she wondered if she held him too tight but that didn’t make her release her hold on him,she cried out more.

"I’m sorry"she apolot for wetting his shirt and also for what she did in his room today although he doesn’t know about it yet,what he did next stunned her,he wrapped his hand around her,his jaw on her head keeping her in place as he listened to her cry.

It took a while for her to calm down before she pulled away from him,feeling too shy to look into his eyes because she didn’t know what to find there if she looked,he just saw a part of her which she want kept hidden,it’s now obvious to him that she was astraphobic and she was sure he was going to us it against her but the question was when?

And also why did he let her use himi to comfort herself,he should have pulled her away from him just like the heartless man he is,why did he let her touch him,perhaps does he like her?

"What do you want from me?"Zaiden’s question took her off the edge because she knew he was going to ask her soon about this, he’s no fool,he should have been able to know that she wants something from him seeing as she’s adamant on their marriage.

"I just want to get married to you that’s all"she told him looking into his eyes trying to sound convincing but this time she saw the hatred and denial in his eyes.

What’s wrong?

"You still lie to the end"He scoffed before turning to bring out his phone,then forwarded it to her as she took it from hos hand,her eyes widened when she noticed what was inside it.

Elijah,that cunning fox.

"It’s not what you think?"she started working closer to him,but he grabbed his phone from her throwing it on the bed,he pushed her as she slammed her back hard to the nearest wall while she winced in pain but he didn’t care,he was blinded by his anger to give a fuck about how she’s feeling.

He was back to himself,the real Zaudem was back,why does he go on and off confusing her,making her think he’s suffering from dissociative identity syndrome.

"A whore would always be a whore ,tell me was it fun playing with me,tell me!!"He screamed slamming his hand hard on the wall a few inches away from her face, scaring the shit out of her,she knew that blow was meant for her but luckily he wasn’t a woman beater right?

He was hurt that the woman who he had believed was different from Arianna was not as innocent as he thought as she claimed,she’s an innocent lying whore.

"It’s not what you think,I..."she tried convincing him, thinking of the right words to use so as not to add to his anger,but she was cut short by his yellings.

Someone save me,she prayed.

"Do I like I care about what you have to say,it doesn’t matter because in the end you will still deny it, fine!"he said moving away from her to give space between the two of them,Hazel gulping hard when she saw the look she had in his face,he was up to something.

"I have nothing to do with your dad,it’s just ...."She walked up to him with careful steps but he raised his hands to her, halting her movement.

"I have to find out for myself"he said,the scary look on his face made Hazel’s breathing stop, he’s up to something and she’s definitely not going to like it, Zaiden was vengeful that’s what she had learned of him these last days of meeting him,and in no time soon he’s going to....

"Strip"
